What are some great slugfest that are underappreciated by boxing fans?

I just got done watching Aaron Pryor vs Akio Kameda. Damn, that fight had me on the edge of my seat! How come when boxing fans are talking about epic wars they never talk about this fight?

So pleas list the underrated brawls. Don't list the obvious (Gatti vs Ward trilogy,Hagler v Hearns, Barkley v Duran etc)

    The Flash Elorde-Terou Kosaka bloody, hammers and tongs duels in the 1960s that included at least a world title fight and the rest for the regional lightweight championship were appreciated only by Filipino and Japanese boxing fans but were hardly mentioned in the Western boxing circles. But they were stuffs that contributed in the creation of the Flash Elorde legend that was borne largely by his fights against Sandy Saddler, Carlos Ortiz, Ismael Laguna and Frankie Narvaez, among others .

    I also like the fights of Shig Fukuyama against Mexican Carlos Bereccil and future champion Danny Little Red Lopez who were dominating their fights until the Japanese featherweight journeyman came on stronger in the later rounds to win by TKO in televised fights held at the Los Angeles Forum in the mid 70s.

    Also in the running are the fights involving Ruben Olivares, Danny Lopez, Bobby Chacon, Rafael Limon and Alexis Arguello. Check them out in the you tube. Smashing!
